(1mg) my stomach was pumped up with gas which ,and for 2 days after the surgery caused an insane amount of pressure in my chest and shoulders. But - too bad for me ! I was 27 so I MUST have been an addict.
All that will happen here is I will be tapered off , have nothing for pain, and end up back in the ER..
Why not keep me on the non abusable form -oxyneo?
It will be interesting to see how things change when I am diagnosed.
Such is life ,right ??

I too had the endometriosis surgery...6 times, many years ago. That gas shifting the organs is quite uncomfortable, in deed. I don't think your lack of pain meds for that was "addict" related. I never got pain meds for that procedure...other then maybe a Tylenol #3 for the first day. Frankly, I don't think they prescribe for that because the pain meds aren't effective for that type of pain (injected gas).
I read on another post that you take 25mg at a time of Oxy...that's quite a bit, I think. maybe they would be more inclined to reduce your dose and keep you on a smaller dose. I would also seek out a specific pain mgmt doctor, instead of neurologist. Pain mgmt docs may have other options that will help you.
I take percocet, but only 2.5 mg (5 for one of the doses if real bad), so probably not really qualified to comment on this thread anyway. Just keep searching for someone to help you.
Just adding because you posted while I was typing. Apparently you may already be seeing a pain mgmt doctor. Sorry, I may have missed that in an earlier post. Hopefully your new neuro will help.
